Negative talk can really influence your actions and your subconscious. I love the article. I am an avid follower of “The Secret” and this post is very much inline with it.

I digg and find the truth myself prior to believing what other people had to say. If they say something negative about someone or something, I just take it. I am not taking into consideration the people I keep company with but I only select few persons whom I will give my trust and keep secrets with.

I even share with him NLP stuff to make his words more positive and bring betterments to his life. Well, he does not practice but I hope all goes well. :) My dad is always negative about things.

People should always remember that the words you say have the power to break. Someday they will come back to haunt you. So, have the habit of using words that bless.

This sounds great. I have already tried showing her what it does to others, but she then plays the victim on me. lol I have read about and used this method before for erasing bad memories, or hurts that have occurred in my life. It is a method that I first discovered through Anthony Robbins, many years ago. It is used to erase the bad feelings you may have when something evokes a memory that still brings you pain. The method was to reconstruct this memory in your mind, making it funny in the same sort of way, and then when you once again happen on this memory it will not have the same impact. It does work. Thanks again. I love this. ROFL. This sounds great. I have already tried showing her what it does to others, but she then plays the victim on me. lol

When turning it into a game try visualizing her as a ridiculous, grumpy but comical little cartoon character. It might find it hard to resist the urge to start laughing when she gets on a roll with that image in your head.
